Dunav Ultra: Back to the River is the name of our annual promo event this year. It will take place on September 2 in Vidin (Bulgaria) and will bring together – those who love adventures along the Danube – cyclists from Bulgaria, Romania and other countries. The next day, on September 3, will be the start of all the cyclists.
A brand new 53-km section in the area of Southwestern Bulgarian Dobrudja region enters the Dunav Ultra route in 2021. The section includes the area around the villages of Onogur, Efreytor Bakalovo, Telerig, Krushari, Ovcharovo and Paskalevo and has already been added to the so-called “Adventure” version of the route.
The Dunav Ultra Cycle Route is among the final selection of “The Next 10: Supporting Ideas that Matter in the Next Ten Years“ – an initiative hosted by the America for Bulgaria Foundation. The idea of placing road signs and information boards along the Dunav Ultra Cycle Route, and especially those in less developed settlements and regions, won the support of the Foundation, in a competition of over 300 proposals in a total of 4 categories.
A few days before Christmas, we surprise our fans with a new video produced by Dunav Ultra, which is called Pantheon. The video is an epic impression dedicated to the Pantheon of the National Revival in Ruse.
On August 3, the Bulgarian ultra marathoner Vladimir Stavrev will start an exceptional challenge – to run the full distance of the nearly 700-kilometer Dunav Ultra Route. Stavrev’s goal is to start the challenge from the village of Kudelin and to reach the end point of the route – the village of Durankulak within a week, thus successfully promoting over 110 settlements along the Danube and Dobrudja, through or along which the route passes, and the Dunav Ultra project itself.
In 2017, the Dunav Ultra Tour took place as for the first and only time unusual race called Gladiators on Bikes. Before the GOB race, and after that, the Dunav Ultra Тour had no any competitive element.
The new selection of the 2020 “The 100 Dunav Ultra Highlights” just begins. The selection presents our annual list of the most interesting sites and places – altogether part of the unique journey along the Danube river banks of Bulgaria and the Dunav Ultra Cycle Route.
